Total comfort for you and your child

At the airport, organize your trip to meet your needs with the options you need! Baggage assistance and delivery

Choose to have your baggage transported to the airport: we provide baggage pick-up and delivery services to and from your home. Upon your arrival in Paris, we can also have your baggage delivered immediately to the address of your choice.

Receive assistance from an Air France staff member throughout your journey at the Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Nice and Bordeaux airports. For departures, arrivals and during connecting flights, you will be personally greeted by our staff member who will facilitate your passage through the security checkpoints.

On board, your infant can rest so you arrive at your destination feeling refreshed.
